Never Play Snap with a Shark

John Foster
Illustrated by Sally Kindberg
(Macmillan Children's Books)
96pp, POETRY, 978-0330393706, RRP £3.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Buy "Never Play Snap with a Shark: Contemporary Cautionary Tales" on Amazon

A collection of contemporary, cautionary verse chosen by John Foster featuring many of the Macmillan poets. These poems cover almost every awful situation you can imagine and the grim consequences for the characters involved. From Kenneth who was too fond of gum and jammed his jaws and Paul who turned pale after logging into www.dracula.co to Violet Henn who learned why she must never chew a felt tip pen and Penelope Knox who was too fond of chocs and was buried in a dairy box. Great fun.
